This session was led by Pieter Brinkman and Hylke Heidstra from Sitecore. They showed some of the new features in the new Sitecore Forms for Sitecore 9.
This session was in a very large room and was standing room only! Lots of people wanted to know more about this new module. Here are my notes from the session:
